: but i heard this year that NJ was introducing self service. : not in Oregon though. It's illegal to pump your own gas, and will be for a long time. : : Portland doesn't have self service either. I got yelled at by many a gas station when I moved here for pumping my own gas. : : I guess they set it up that way during the depression to create more jobs. : : : : Dead_By_Dawn : : "This is my boomstick!" : : : : Not me, I'm from Connecticut. : : : But when I worked at a gas station (until very recently), you'd be surprised the number of times I heard that statement. : : : See in New Jersey, there is no such thing as "self service" gas stations. (is this true of any other states?) : : : So otherwise intelligent and capable people would be outside trying to pump their gas- and at a complete loss. The pump would start beeping like mad, they'd press the "help" button, and I'd go outside. : : : "I'm sorry, I'm from New Jersey" he/she would say. : : : This statement always made me snicker. I have family in NJ, so I knew they were trying to tell me they'd never pumped their own gas. If I wasn't aware of those bizarre Jersey ways... the statement would have been even more amusing. : : : I say ON TOPIC... Jersey related. : : : Just in Case... KEVIN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : : : -Amy
